The Power of a Simple Miracle (7 of 9)
Series: Elisha
Jim Perdue
2 Kings 6:1-7
I am preaching a sermon series on the life of Elisha. We have studied his life of amazing faith. He is the miracle prophet. His life, his faith, and his actions pointed others to God.
Today, I want you to take your Bible and turn to 2 Kings 6:1-7. We will see a miracle here in this passage that it's quite likely you've never listened to a sermon about. Maybe it's one you've never even heard of. Today, I want to remind you of The Power of a Simple Miracle. READ TEXT

Ray Stedman has told the story of a time when he and his wife were driving through Oregon with his little daughter, Susan. She had developed a fever the night before, when they were staying in a motel, but it didn't seem serious. As they drove along, all of a sudden the little girl went into convulsions. Her eyes turned up, her body began to jerk, and she obviously was in great danger. Stedman's heart clutched. He stopped the car, grabbed Susan, and stumbled across the road to a farmhouse that happened to be visible nearby. It was about six in the morning, but the frantic father thundered on the door. When a woman appeared, he cried out, ''My daughter is very sick-she's in convulsions. Do you have a bathtub where we can put her in warm water?'' The lady was so ...
